This review is from: Otomedius Excellent Special Edition (Video Game)
I've played through all the Gradius titles (thanks to my PSP and PS2) and a little bit of R-Type (I picked up Final while waiting on this to come out to warm up). I've always been a fan of shooters (or shump as they're sometimes called) and picked this up simply because I'm always up for trying new ones (even though I'm not fond of the theme).

The game's menu itself is different in that the right analog stick also doubles as a mouse cursor. I still find it faster to navigate the menus using the left stick and rapidly picking choices rather than slowly dragging the cursor along the screen. My only complaint is that there isn't a record screen that I could find. The only way to know which level each character was would be to complete a game or get a game over (and exiting a game to my knowledge rewards no experience).

I originally played through the game in Story Mode on Normal difficulty. It was rather difficult but at the same time I was given unlimited...Read more

By far the best SHMUP with big boobs ever released in America on the Xbox! Really, it's awesome, if you like SMHUP's that are not too hard, and jiggly breasts. Did I mention the jiggly breasts? They are great. Also the soundtrack may even surpass the game in sheer incredible awesomeness. And if you can find three people to play, the game just gets more epic!

Watch the video demostration, I gave it an overall 3 out of 5 stars due to the multiplayer blunders of this game, however I enjoyed the single player very much

small recap
Pros
- old style shoot em up heaven
- plenty of characters to choose from with their own unique Platonic Breaks and weapons
- Upload and download replays from pros in case you get stuck
- Unlocks, weapon upgrades, images for the gallery and even 1 unlockable character

Cons
- local multiplayer bug, 2nd and 3rd player can move past a certain height in some levels
- multiplayer, 2nd and 3rd players have unlimited lives but have to wait for host player to reach certain areas to respawn
- if host player losses all his lives he gets thrown out to the main menu along with the 2nd and 3rd players so its Game Over for everyone.

Conclusion
if you are a shoot em up fan you will probably like this.
